Hello,
Shooting! Indian shooting team has been always expected win medal at olympics. But we had only won 4 medals till now. Only gold other than hockey in India's overall medals tally is from shooting. Abhinav bhindra, won in Men's 10 m Air Rifle in Beijing2008.
Other Olympic medalists are Rajyavardhan Rathore - Silver,Athens2004, Vijay kumar - Silver,London2012, Gagan Narag- Bronze,London2012
We had sent a team of 11 to Rio2016, now to Tokyo 15 are shooting for India.
There are 15 Gold medals to shoot in Tokyo. But we are aiming only 10.
This is the largest Indian shooting contingent at the Olympic Games, and probably the most prolific too with multiple current and former world No 1 and World Cup gold medallists. They are a largely young side, with all but four on their first Olympics campaign.
